Upanishads : " The Cream of Vedas"
Vedanta ( Veda +anta i.e; the end of Vedas ) as the literal meaning connotes comprises the philosophical portion of Vedas, called the Upanishads.
Of about 280 Upanishads unearthed so far, 108 have been accepted as authorised texts , and out of them have been commented upon by great Acharyas lika Sri Sankaracharya , Sri Ramanjacharya, Sri Madhavacharya and thus are classified as major.

Mundakopanishad : ( Seven tongues of fire ).Mantram-4.

Vedik period was a time prior to the beauty embodiments, as in "Rama or in Krishna."

A seeker who was in the 'workshop of Spiritualism' had to learn his early meditations upon the different kinds of flames that rose from the sacrificial fire ( from homakundam ) during 'Yajna-s and Yaga-s'.

The fire, you must remember, was the idol of the Vedik period to worship at and to concentrate upon.

It is by concentrating upon the different flames that the 'Upanisha-students' of the golden age of "Bharatham ( Hinduism ) sharpened their minds and intellects to soar to the deathless gloty of Vedik perfections and knowledge.

Mantram-6.
